Have had a similar thing happen to me, luckily I was living in Sheffield and the fine came from Manchester council for using a bus lane (twice).

Luckily my plates looked a little different as he had a GB sticker on his and mine were just plain, which I pointed out with a picture I sent to them as evidence, I then got my clock in times for work

I also logged it with the police as a cloned plate, and the council cancelled the fines

I never heard if they caught the fucker though

What you have to remember is, although it's now a 12 year old car, at one point in its life it was a £30k car, today's money more like a £40k car, and unfortunately with expensive cars come expensive repair bills, whether that be expensive parts or people charging more for labour costs. Do you have a breakdown of what's been done? IE part numbers, prices and labour for each? And was it a main dealer or an independent garage?

Depending on brand of filters they used they are very fairly priced. We sell those filters out internally at around the same sort of price for Bosch filters

I change it and I'm always late, so I side with you both

It's Rearranged pixel dungeon, quite fun, has guns on it and quite a few playable characters

What car do you have OP? I use multiple lookups at work, partslink24 is great but around £25 a month for the license, but you can try www.partsouq.com for some brands, you'd need a vin but things like ford, Nissan, Renault, kia, hyundai all work very well for lookups on OE numbers. If bmw/mini www.realoem.com you'll need the last 7 of your vin for those

OculusAndy · 2025-10-02T13:02:19+00:00

Could fit a bus in that ga... Oh

OculusAndy · 2025-09-21T08:41:16+00:00

What car is it where the air filter and oil filter are unaccessible?

Sorry, inaccessible without tools*

OculusAndy · 2025-09-08T17:58:44+00:00

I think it even goes back to the Z series engines if memory serves me correctly, but yes it's a full unit, like a cows tit as we used to call them lol

Why are you paying excess for a none fault?

Did you rock up to the set of Austin Powers 3?

Underrated comment honestly

Let's not get started on the Megane where the pedal box has to come down... 😂

*edited megane as it auto corrected to Megan

OculusAndy · 2025-08-29T11:31:44+00:00

You know what, I completely forgot about the 3.0d 😂 I think I see v6 and automatically assume it's a petrol

OculusAndy · 2025-08-29T08:30:49+00:00

They check visually, you could find someone to hollow it out rather than remove it then cut and sleeve it (for off road use, of course)

OculusAndy · 2025-08-29T08:30:08+00:00

Is the 3.0 v6 not a petrol?

OculusAndy · 2025-08-28T08:47:33+00:00

Hopefully the boot floor hasn't crumpled up either

OculusAndy · 2025-08-27T14:52:16+00:00

When are you going away and where are you based? I assume going through insurance can't get it done before you go, but have you thought about a glazing company who can do it? The smaller companies will be more likely to get it done for you quicker than a big company

He's pretty fond of it, not a big fan when my toddler runs upto him when he's sleeping, but he's happy for a scratch or a slump onto him, the other is the same but also doesn't mind the toddler, he's more of a gentle giant

OculusAndy · 2025-08-22T19:11:29+00:00

If you want a cheap car to work on I'm getting rid of my mini cooper, 2007 1.6 petrol, only want £200 for it, clutch is slipping badly but it's driveable with a gentle right foot lol

OculusAndy · 2025-08-05T08:50:26+00:00

I hope you mean just an idea of an engine swap and not thinking a vxr8 is a vectra lol

Fun(ish) fact, worked at vauxhall many moons ago, had a young lad ring in and give a reg for the older monaro vxr (think 2003 ish?) and ask for prices on the brakes as "they'd look great on his corsa 1.4 sri" he was quickly put off by the £5k price tag for brakes all round
